V-League runners-up Binh Duong had a lucky scoreless draw in an away match against Malaysiaââ‚¬â„¢s Selangor at Shah Alam Stadium in an opening match of the Asian Football Confederation Cup on Tuesday.
Despite having some excellent foreign players in the squad, Binh Duong looked out of sorts against the hosts. The players could have been tired after they beat Khanh Hoa 1-0 to book a berth in the National Cup quarters back home on Friday. The Vietnamese side enjoyed greater ball possession but couldnââ‚¬â„¢t make serious goal scoring cances while the home team was able to launch several dangerous attacks. However, Binh Duong custodian The Anh saved three clear chances that Selangor had, while two other shots by the home team hit the post and the bar. In the other Group F match, Maldivian club Victory SC and Indonesiaââ‚¬â„¢s Sriwijaya also played a goalless draw. … [Read more...] about Binh Duong manages draw against Malaysiaââ‚¬â„¢s Selangor

There was nothing sophisticated about the suicide bombing at an Indonesian church Sunday -- using homemade explosives packed with nails, nuts and bolts, the bomber killed only himself. The attack was in stark contrast to the country's deadliest terrorist incident nine years ago, when the Al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) killed 202 people, mostly foreigners, in the highly planned Bali bombings. With networks such as JI suffering serious damage in the face of a remarkably successful crackdown by Indonesian security forces, a new generation of loosely-connected jihadists has been left to step up. "The weakening of the large organisations is something positive. Indonesia has done a pretty damn good job of basic law enforcement," International Crisis Group analyst Sidney Jones told AFP. "The chances are less likely you'll get an attack of that magnitude," she added, referring to the Bali bombings. Instead the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation has seen a spate of smaller … [Read more...] about Indonesia’s ‘individual jihadists’ gaining ground

IntroductionThe emergence of the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and its subsequent negative impact on Malaysia's economy in 1998 disrupted the decade-long sterling economic growth that the country had enjoyed prior to the crisis. Although the economy recovered quickly in 1999, there were numerous external and internal challenges that have confronted it since then. Externally, the catastrophe of September 11 and global downturn in 2001/2002 as well as the emergence of health risks associated with the Sudden and Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the avian flu in 2003, the tsunami in 2004, and escalating oil prices in 2005/2006 all posed different challenges to Malaysia's small, open economy. Internally, steering the country to the next stage of development require a continuous search for a balance between further liberalization and the development needs of the country. While the former is dictated by the size of Malaysia's relatively small domestic economy, the latter also includes … [Read more...] about Prosper-thy-neighbour policies: Malaysia’s contributions after the Asian financial crisis
